6 years!

today, paul and i are celebrating our 6th anniversary...what the heck, first of all, when did i become old enough to be married, let alone for 6 years! i have loved being married to paul. he really is the best thing that has ever happened to me. i didn't know i could love someone so much. plus he is pretty easy to love. there is this book i read when we first got married that mom gave me. it is by dr laura schessinger (i know i spelled that wrong). it is called the proper care and feeding of husbands. it helped me understand how a man thinks, and all he wants to be is your knight in shining armor. if you let him love you and do things for you (mind you, not the things we whisper in his ear to do for us, but the things HE comes up with. you also have to truly appreciate what he does), he will thrive. so i tried it and it has made us both REALLY happy. i look forward for the little things he does for me. only paul would think of them!

one of the biggest lessons i have learned being married to paul the great communicator, is to communicate. he can't read my mind, so i tell him what is on my mind (he loves it).

we are celebrating today by doing some yard work and having some taco salad. he took work off on friday and we are going up to salt lake. we will go to the salt lake temple (where we were married) and do a live session and then hang out in the city. we haven't been back to that temple in 6 years! i am really embarrassed about that, but we are really excited. there is a big rumor that the salt lake temple will close for a couple years when the other temple opens in the fall, so we wanted to get up there before it closed for earthquake proofness.

i love that i was smart enough to marry him...
